BTCUSDSHORTS trade ideas
BTC SHORTS - this will be interestingHi everyone,
I just wanted to do one more post before bed. It was interesting to see this chart for BTC shorts and it will be even more interesting to see it over the next little while. This chart tells a tail of lost opportunities and lost funds.
If you look back at the recent past, the amount of money in a short position is not very closely correlated with the price. It seems most people have a very difficult time of picking tops and bottoms, are slow to pick the change of direction, and tend to accumulate at the points when BTC finds support. BTC dropped nearly $1000 from $8500 to $7600 before shorts started to pick up.
My prediction: There will be a LOT of money lost as short isn't where you want to be right now. Watch for the Bitmex bot calling short liquidations on twitter starting in a few hours. This will add a lot of strength into the next bull-run up to $10k+. Yeah, I know that's a big call. See my other posts that show how if BTC stays above $5755 (I would be surprised if it goes below $6000) that the next run will be significant and strong. If you are interested in seeing why I think that, please check out my other posts on BTC.
Thanks for viewing. Please note that I am relatively new to TA, am not a professional, or your Mum, so please do your own research. Preserve those funds people.
BITCOIN LONG & SHORT COMPARING IN BITFINEXLook the chart you can easier see something certainly is LONG and SHORT is OPPOSITE.
We have nice chart for SHORT, using Fibo we can find the next target for SHORT and td- sequential show we need down correction in SHORT.
With LONG, when SHORT down correction, it also has up correction before a time of downtrend. The target is the extend line (resistance) before dropping again.
All target zone and correction zone depend on Fibo in above.

Bearish butterfly pattern on the BTCUSDSHORTS chartAlong with with having using the BTCUSDSHORTS and BTCUSDLONGS charts as indicators of the BTCUSD chart(using trend lines, fib retracements, and common indicators on them), often giving me a very good idea of when price was about to reverse when signs weren't exactly showing on the BTCUSD chart itself. Trend lines on the indicators themselves, no matter what the chart is, often have been very helpful too. The more reasons to take a trade(or be bullish/bearish), the better. Anyway, now that I'm on a harmonic pattern kick, I had to find a corresponding bearish pattern to go with the bullish Gartley pattern within BTCUSDLONGS(see related idea).
BTC trend reversal confirmedThis support line has been holding solid despite of the increase of volume. BTC was primed for a three dives pattern (which is a bullish pattern) but at this point looks like It won't go all the way to the bottom.
Yesterday we had the most highest volume since April 15th and the most bullish since February 6th. This phenomenon happens to combine with an increasing Shorting pressure which may start another cascade effect like we experienced on April 12 due to shorts buying BTC to prevent position liquidation.
This is officially the first higher low we experience in a cycle since the great market crash. It coincides con 2 very bullish indicators so we may see a higher high this time.
If all of this come true as it looks like we are in for a perfect cup and handle formation by February (remember SEC can extend their decision about CBOE's ETF up to the third week of February 2019) leading to a possible ATH regardless of the outcome.
Impending short squeeze.Looking at just Bitfinex shorts its clear theres a massive amount of active shorts eerily similar to the last two huge short squeezes in the past in the circles. I'm making the bet of another short squeeze coming up as the sheer volume of shorts right now is ridiculous. If we remain or hover around 6250 for a bit we might see another repetition of history. However I doubt we'll break past the previous two highs, if by some chance we do it could mark a major trend reversal in the market, but if it plays out as I expect it will be confirmation that eventually we'll break below 5800 support.
Prepare for Short Squeeze! 6500->8000 in few minutes!Remember April 2018 when everyone have no hope in crypto and a lot of ppl said it will go down to 4k?
And people just build up short position along the way and it reach the ATH at 40k short position at Bitfinex...
What happen next is... they got rekt! and price of BTC jump from 6800 to 8000 in few minutes. ( I still remember that moment, I having dinner and got rekt alert from Bitmex Rekt bot. )
Well, this time it could happening too. Because when most people looking at the same way, whale ( or maybe us lol ) will do the opposite.
I think if the price can stay at 6500 + it will be very scary because it might jump real bad because of short liquidation chain reaction at bitmex.
I think a lot of big order are around 6500-6800 range and it can be rekt so easily.
Anyway, it might not happen but who know! Better prepare!
BTC/USD - Long term support may hold, short squeeze comingBTC/USD long interest is very low on Bitfinex, while short interest is again skyrocketing - see the chart above. I'm expecting a big short squeeze again. Plus, long term support for BTC may hold, so we may start to slowly go up long term from here.
Therefore, I went 50% long BTC today.
Potential SHORT SQUEEZE coming in BitcoinHey guys, saw something and thought I'd draw your attention to it
Watch out for this if you are short. I would not recommend being short right now. We are approaching all time high shorts and we are in oversold conditions and the sentiment is very bearish. It is very possible that a short squeeze could be coming and a large one too.
If you are short, make sure you have a stop-loss. You might not "think" you can get liquidated, but you can get liquidated. Your perception of reality is not reality. Be EXTREMELY careful with this guys. This could be the next big buying opportunity so watch out. This information is bullish and so I am going to select this post as bullish to make sure the bears see this. That said, I am not recommending a buy, but you should be watching out for a buying opportunity - this could be just that.
I hope you don't get rekt.

Bitcoin's Next Big Move is likely UP! 8-14-18I haven't used the Bitfinex shorts graph to time my positions, but with short levels at highs and prices at relative lows, it seems like the perfect setup for a short squeeze, which will of course cause a seismic move in price. I am, therefore, going to be biased to (attempt, may not catch it of course) trade consolidation breakout long.
Frankly, if we do get another big break up, this might be the end of the bear market altogether. We will have likely put in a significant higher low.
Shorts tell you all you need to knowAs you can see, shorts tend to be at their highest when the market hits its bottom, and at their lowest when markets hit their top.
We're currently at a value which is second to the ATH number of shorts, and still growing. Either the bottom is already in, or even if we push down one more time, the larger number of shorts will probably support the price as so many people take profits. (also, longs are very very low already).
So in short, there is a huge number of people who have already sold BTC, and they *must* buy it back - many will do so in the vicinity below this price to take profit, and prop the price up, and many many more will do so as stop losses or liquidation the second BTC makes a strong upward movement, creating a cascade of upward pressure. At that same time all of the people who had recently closed their longs will jump back in to new long positions, and help push the price even more (and very few people in long positions will close them to take profits, because there are hardly any longs open (relatively speaking).
